This collection of objects, made without supervision or direction on the part of the teacher, is of special value to those interested in child study. It is suggestive in many ways. The child's imagination, interest, and creative instinct are manifested in these bits of wood, and those who are planning courses of work may 'catch some hints' from such productions.
